    Anybody had any problems with the truck shaking, after putting on step rails? I seem to be getting a lot of shaking when I'm driving, idk if it's turbulence when the air hits the rails or what... makes sense though. Might take them off just to verify I'm not crazy lol.

    Did you check to see if they’re tight?

    To be honest, no... haven't had a chance to get under there again yet. I'll check tonight.

    Not sure what type of steps you have. I had predator steps and I did not notice a difference between them being on or off causing this issue.
    But I don’t hit my shin on them anymore!

    All you really gotta do is put your hand on them and see if they move any. There should be no movement.

    Ok... So, I'm an idiot... Yes, the step rails apparently loosened themselves up, but the biggest part of the problem was the buildup of mud in my rear wheels, guess it threw my balance off... Took the pressure washer to the underside of the truck today, and the layer of mud on my driveway is impressive lol.
